Burning Scripture

from Burning Scripture by Countess

lyrics

Lies spoken since the dawn of time
Though none so great as the first
The first lie of the one god spoken
By a mad king in his power thirst

The first lie was followed by many
In measly verses all written down
Collected in books called scripture
The awful lies gained great renown

Scripture was spread far and wide
And cults of the one god flourished
By self-proclaimed prophets of the lie
Generations minds by deceit nourished

(chorus)
Burning scripture, crushing lies
No verse of holy writ shall remain
Burning scripture, crushing lies
Righteous arrogance turned to shame

The vile cults enslaved the once free
Tried to do away with the gods of yore
Nearly banished the gods of our blood
Almost vanquished was the ancient lore

Yet embers of the holy fire remained
Kindled again to incinerate the one god
Those true to their ancestral beliefs
Will reforge the past in battle and blood

(chorus)

The lie of the one god exposed for all
The pure again worship the gods of old
Everywhere the one’s house is torched
The strong return to the heathen fold

After millennia at last the lie has fallen
Its books are burnt its preachers slain
Our battle cries turn to roars of victory
Scripture’s followers endure horrible pain

(chorus)
